Other fun examples from philosophy could be the Dao De Jing for which there
are radically different translations that assume different propositional

Dear Martin et al.,

example for propositional object is to create a complex example that spans
multiple classes and properties and illustrates the interrelation between
information object and propositional object and potent
Dear George,

propositional objects. They are identifiers for chunks of text in an
edition, an information object which has a series of symbols and may encode
